Katy Perry, born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, is a famed American singer-songwriter. She is one of the world’s best-selling music artists having sold over 140 million records worldwide. Perry rose to fame in 2008 with her second album, One of the Boys. She also became the first artist to have multiple videos reach one billion views on Vevo. Perry also began serving as a judge on American Idol in 2018, starting from its sixteenth season.
Perry’s initial efforts at becoming a popstar failed miserably with her first album doing poorly and the record company dropping her. She moved to Los Angeles where she released her second album “One Of The Boys”. The controversial single “I Kissed A Girl” rocketed her to fame. She has garnered several Grammy Award nominations, including album of the year for Teenage Dream.

3 I think you can have it all, you just have to work really hard because great things don’t come easily. –Katy Perry
If you are going to laze around all day and wish for great things to come your way, you are but a fool. If you want greatness, you need to work hard for it. Nothing great to you unless you work hard for it.
4 A lot of the time people don’t even know what they want until they see something new. –Katy Perry

5 Don’t care what people gonna think of you, do what you wanna do and seek just your happiness. -Katy Perry

8 People always ask me, ‘What is it that you regret?’ And I say, ‘nothing, because I could not buy what I’ve learned.’ -Katy Perry
Every experience that you have in your life is only going to build you. However times you fail, remember that in the end, all of it is going to make sense. The things you learn in life, from the mistakes you make and the pain you go through, can never be bought for money. Cherish every one of it.

10 Acceptance is the key to be truly free. -Katy Perry
The first step to true freedom is acceptance of who you are. You need to love yourself and everything you are, your scars, your faults and imperfections. All of it has made you the person you are. Unless you learn to love and accept it, you’ll always be caged by your insecurities.
11 Maybe the reason why all the doors are closed is so you could open one that leads you to the perfect road. -Katy Perry
Regardless of how dark the circumstances may seem, remember that sooner or later things will get better. Life isn’t a constant journey downhill but a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows. If things are looking bad ahead, it’s probably because good things are waiting for you beyond the horizon. You just have to hold on until then.

If you’ve ever felt so exhausted, mentally burned out and broken that you think you can’t go on anymore, then this one’s for you. It’s fine to feel that way. But remember that it’s not going to last forever. You’re a “Firework” and all you have to wait for your turn to shine and let your colors burst.
13 You don’t have to feel like a wasted space, You’re original, cannot be replaced, If you only knew what the future holds, After a hurricane comes a rainbow. -Katy Perry

There may be dark clouds looming above you, the road ahead may seem like it’s full of pain and struggle, but remember, after every night comes a dawn. The storm will surely die down and the sun will shine on you.
14 I’ll take your bad days with your good, Walk through the storm I would, I do it all because I love you. -Katy Perry
If you genuinely love someone, you’re never going to turn your back on them. You would be ready to walk through fire and hell for them. It’s not just the good days that require you to be together but also the bad ones alike.
15 I won’t just conform, No matter how you shake my core, ‘Cause my roots, they run deep, oh. -Katy Perry
